Adam Goodes with ostrich legs

I find that a little surprising.

While if Jurrah becomes a player of Goodes' ilk I'll be over the moon, but Goodes doesn't seem to be a player who does freakish things with the ball, something many often comment on with Jurrah.

    He is a mix between Brent Grgic, Donald Cockatoo Collins and Simon Godfrey.

    Exciting times.

    Robbo, on SEN this morning when asked about Liam said something like "He's got great speed, go-go gadget arms and a terrific leap. I don't mean to put any pressure on the kid but he'll be the next Buddy Franklin and the saviour of our club"

    no no robbo, that would not put any pressure on the kid we are supposed to be sheltering from getting freaked out and running away haha

    aaahh I only heard a part of that snippet from Robbo, I thought he was reffering to Watts. Didn't he then say he is only 18.. blah blah blah.. saviour of the club Mousey or did I miss the boat completely?

    Chinese whispers.

    If I recall correctly Robertson said that Jurrah reminds him of Buddy and that he really hopes he stays at the MFC. He said he was 6'3", can run, jump, and can take a big mark, but he then tried to play the comparison down. It was the interviewers who leapt on it and in a jocular fashion used the term "Saviour", not Robertson.

    Either way, it was good to hear his enthusiasm.

    yeah sorry guys i didnt hear the snippet but just saw someone post it on ology and thought it was post worthy.

    Im hoping Jurrah makes his debut in the next month or so.

    I have seen Jurrah running around Jells Park; he is deceptively tall, always seems to be slightlly hunched over, and joeboy is right on the mark with the crack about ostrich legs.

    Robbo was the one joking around. He said he didn't want to put any pressure on the kid, but he reminds him of Lance Franklin.

    Then he joked that he will be the saviour of the club.

    It was all in jest.

    Truthful, crystalball-like foretelling of the future, jest?

    I'm pretty sure Bailey said he was 191cm.

    Coaches and players are often not so hot on this sort of stuff. Bell and McKenzie are both popularly-billed at 186cm.

    They stand each side of Jurrah in the team photo. You be the judge. He's taller than both but not by much, I'd guess

    a maximum of 3 cm, so he's 189 cm at best.

    So it's 189cm on a bad hair day. Settled.

    edit: - Newton's beady eyes freak me out. Looks like a puppet.

    I heard that on SEN this morning. Those statements make this bleak year liveable. Keep Training & learning Master Jarrah. I hope to see your Potential in front of a Packed MCG in Late September in the not to distant Future.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
